For the battery pack, it suggests that the device may have a large battery pack i.e. either 4850 mAh, 4500 mA, 4300 mAh or 4000 mAh. The display of this phone will be over 6-inches though our best bet is 6.3-inches. In terms of processing power, this phone is supposed to come with a Snapdragon series processor. The options offered by Flipkart includes - Snapdragon 630, Snapdragon 660, Snapdragon 450 or Snapdragon 636.
In terms of optics, it suggests the presence of a 48-megapixel dual rear camera setup or a 32-megapixel triple camera setup. Other options include a single 48-megapixel camera and a single 16-megapixel camera.
Going by the above hints it is clear that the upcoming smartphone will be a mid-budget segment smartphone that could take on the likes of Redmi 9 Pro or Pro Max, Realme 6 Series or the Poco X2. Or does it want to become an OnePlus Nord alternative?
